Configuration Requirements

  • Road Sim card (optional), EVSE ID, configuration manual for the installer and registration manual for the owner of the charging station

Follow the steps:

Step 1: Make sure to have a local connection with the charging station via UTP

You can do this one of these two ways:

  • UTP:

  1. Click on DHCP

  2. The IP address and the subnet mask will be filled in automatically;

  3. Enter the Gateway. You do this by copying your IP address and replacing the last number of it with a 1.

    • For example: If your IP address is 192.168.2.36, delete “36” and write “1” instead. Your Gateway should then be - 192.168.2.1

OR

  • Sim-card:

  1. Enter SIM card details:

    • Sim Pin – leave this field empty;

    • APN – enter –

      • When using a white Road SIM card or another connection method: m2m.services

      • When using a purple Road SIM card: road.io

  2. Save the changes.

Step 5: Go to Charge Points and indicate which charge points you want to connect to the OCPP or click on Configure All

Step 6: Select Add new provider and enter the Provider URL:

  • When using a white Road SIM card or another connection method: ws://ocpp.road.io/<provider-slug>
